Telantunich

Telantunich was a Maya settlement in the interior of southern Yucatán, near Catmis. Its stone sculptures belong to a regional tradition of human portraiture distinct from the better-known carved stelae of other Maya cities. Figures from the site and nearby areas share features with sculptures at Kabah and Sayil farther northwest. Their imagery offers a glimpse of the ideas and artistic connections of Classic-period communities in this forested region.
